PLENARY SESSION TWO

Aboriginal Customary Law forums:

“Teaching the Teachers” separate men’s session and women’s sessions

Men's session moderated by Assoc Professor Isaac Brown; women's session moderated by Rose Kunoth-Monks

Indigenous law men to meet with male delegates and Indigenous law women to meet with female delegates for discussion of customary law. Each session will have a moderator and note taker. Each session will decide which information stays within the group and which information can be shared at the plenary session. These sessions provide a unique opportunity for law teachers to meet with Aboriginal Law men and women to learn about Aboriginal Customary Law and to discuss ideas for legal co-existence. It is envisaged that 20 –25 ceremony men and women will attend from across the Northern Territory.

Whilst time slots have been allocated, the sessions are likely to be open–ended, so as to allow for flexibility and to facilitate discussion.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Delegates to the customary law sessions may find that Aboriginal Presenters request aspects of material presented be kept confidential. Delegates are asked to be mindful of any such request and to respect it
